Minto Island Tea Company

Crema's Take
“Minto Island Tea Company offers a genuinely immersive experience that goes beyond typical tea shopping—visitors rave about touring the working facility, meeting the growers, and witnessing the hand-processing methods that justify their craft-focused pricing. The peaceful, pastoral setting makes it feel more like a tea pilgrimage than a quick retail stop, with open house events and tastings that let you connect directly with how their specialty teas are grown and made. If you're willing to invest in quality and skip expecting a bargain-bin tea store, the experience and community here are truly singular.”

It really wasn't what I expected. I was looking for a tea store but this isn't a tea store, they had a few boxes of tea.
This place is fantastic, and I highly recommend a visit during an open house, their tea is incredible!
Toured facility and bought some tea plants and sampled new teas. Very peaceful setting 😌
A very unique experience! We loved the tour and have enjoyed tasting your teas over the years. People saying the tea is expensive have no clue how much time hand processing tea takes!
Very cool experience to go see how tea is grown and hear about the making process. The tea it's self comes in a very nice box, but it's way over priced for the quantity and the taste. Maybe skip the box and label the bag that's in the box to keep the price down.
